IMPROVEMENT IN DUMPlNG-WAGONS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 167,531, datedSeptember 7, 1875 application filed May 24, 1875.

[0 all whom it may concern Be it known that we, PHILIP? HEILMAN andJACOB HEILMAN, Jr., of Tiffin, in the county of Seneca and State ofOhio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Dumping- Wagons, ofwhich we declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact descriptionthere of, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming apart of this specification- Figure 1 being a perspective view, showingthe whole of the parts.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which our inventionappertains to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation.

The wagon-box A is arranged to tip backward on a trunnion-shaft, whichhas hearings on the frame 0 G, which is composed of the parallel sillsor bed-timbers O O, with suitable pieces to hold the same in position,said bed-timbers being so shaped and constructed as to entirely dispensewith the hind bolster of the wagon, and is suitable for and can beattached to any ordinary wagon. The bedframe is provided with bars D andE, secured by suitable pins G G and loops F, for relieving thetrunnion-shaft from the weight of the box when the latter is in ahorizontal position. The dotted line P shows the position of the boxwhen dumping its load. The box is made somewhat wider at its rear end,in order to allow the load to go easily from it.

The operation is as follows: Previous to dumping the rear bar D isremoved; the front bar E is also removed from the loops F, and bylifting the front end, the load is discharged.

Having thus described the construction and operation of our saidinvention, What We claim, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, in a dumping-wagon, of the box A, hung on trunnions B,with the sills or bed-frame timbers O U, the bars D and E in the frontand rear ends, with the straight axle-trees, all as and for the purposeset forth.

In witness that We claim the foregoing we hereunto set our hands this18th day of May,

PHlLIPP HEILMAN. JACOB HEILMAN, JR.
